Yes, today Steve Oxley announced he rode 21 miles so has exceeded the 8000 mile line, a great achievement if you have that much free time to spend on a bicycle. Some would be ashamed to admit they rode that much but even more noteworthy is Evie Adelman told me she surpassed the 8000 mile mark some time ago. Can any one else beat that distance, for a year? Probably Flyin Tuna did with all that free time from a government job, or maybe....

Seems to me that our author appears to have as much or more free time than all of us (except oxley). Makes me wonder why his mileage is so anemic. Too many shortcuts I suppose...

Congratulations, Steve! 8000 miles, quite an accomplishment. I don't keep track, but if I had to guess, I probably rode less than 2,000 miles this year.

8,000 miles at 19mph equates to 421 hours in the saddle, or 17.5 days.

I usually watch about 1.5 hrs of television per night. That equates to 547.5 hours (22.8 days) of television this year. If I were on my bike, averaging 19mph, I could have ridden 10,402 miles. So I guess you could say I watched 10,402 miles worth of television... booyah! In your face, Steve!!!

That Ryan fellow is a hoot, if I didn't know it I would say he has been hanging around that Mitch character to much.
